The seller calls it a die crack, but its more a lamination issue.

Yeah, that was my first thought, but wanted to make sure it was real. Man, it's very rare to see a lamination issue on a Zinc cent from the 1980's.

Chase007, nice! That's good news to hear. Hopefully, the bid won't get too high on this one, but it could easily get high.

Looks the the plating is lifting off the zinc for some reason. Would this be considered a plating problem instead of a true minting error?

It appears to be a very nice genuine lamination error. My only concern would be storage considering the exposed zinc core. I guess an Air-Tite would be best if it fits with the raised peel.
I dont believe I've seen a Zincoln lamination before.

Yeah, that is a concern, but I have the right type of flips to put this in. I put my coins in a safe, non PVC flip case so they don't get PVC damage on the coin. I agree with you. I never seen a Peeled lamination on a Zincoln cent before.

E&V....its not passing the smell test to me. Look at the peeled back area on IGWT, there's lumps on the zinc. This may have been a zinc zit that seller flipped over them self. Same with the larger area. Notice left side, is indented, looks to me like some instrument used to pry it up. Since this is one of the more obscure errors none of us has ever seen, I question it beind a genuine mint produced error coin. Thinking manipulated PMD, its too risky to buy, $1 max for me. |

I see your point. The detail on his bottom of his hair on his head is still strong and it's looks like it's been peeled up with something hard. I agree with you completely. Too risky to buy.

It may be very well just PMD and not a real Mint error at all. I even question it to myself that if it is real or not. Errers and Varietys.

The buyer may or may not have peeled it wider themselves, but there's no way they created the initial lamination without physically damaging the surrounding area of the coin. The top right anomaly is clearly plating separation, but copper is visible under the missing tip of the lamination at the back of the head. Interesting coin, but only about $5 worth of interesting to me. I'd have to hermetically seal it to keep it from corroding away, now that the zinc is exposed.  |

Off topic, but I'm not sure what happen to all of my posts. I was at 906 or something like that of posts and now I'm only at 866 post. A glitch maybe?
